"I retained Pat to prepare construction drawings in late 2020 for our new home on the Oregon coast. As a retired Structural Engineer, I can tell you that I was very happy with the entire drawing package prepared for our house. There was no problem getting a building permit. Pat used her usual structural engineering consultant to provide the necessary engineering for our house. I reviewed the architectural as well as the structural engineer’s drawings in detail. The entire package was very professional. I would recommend The Design Department, Inc. to any person wanting to have plans prepared for a custom home."

"Josh has always been prompt and communicative with every interaction we've had. I initially got in touch with him about new construction design questions, and when we discovered that our current home porch posts had rotted through due to faulty design by the original home designer, Josh jumped into action. He had his engineer and construction crew to our door within 24 hours to take a look and put together a plan. He took my design ideas and brought them to life. He was transparent about all parts of the cost (to include his profit), and gave us to option to lower the cost by hauling away debris and painting the porch (which we were more than willing to do). Any delays with the work were met with a phone call and followup email if he didn't get through to either my husband or I immediately, and the construction crew did very high quality work. We were beyond pleased with his customer service! We will definitely use Revival Home Designs in the future when we decide to build our forever home."

"Matthew Bruce exceeded our expectations. Our 92-year-old dad fell while using the bathroom and injured himself. We needed an immediate response to make the bathroom safe. Matthew responded to my request very quickly. He asked questions about the situation that showed he had the expertise we needed. He came to the house within a day of agreeing to perform the work and completed the most urgent task that day. He needed other tools to complete the installation of the grab bar drilled into the shower tiles, so he had to return at a later time. He communicated clearly when he could return and completed the task. Additionally, he cleaned up after his work and was pleasant to workMatthew Bruce exceeded our expectations.

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

New Vancouver homeowners should prioritize seismic retrofitting, such as foundation anchoring and cripple wall bracing, especially in older homes. Address moisture concerns with crawl space encapsulation and foundation waterproofing to protect against frequent rain. Inspect decks and porches for structural safety, and consider a structural inspection before planning renovations or adding accessory dwelling units to ensure long-term stability and safety.

Helpful?

In Vancouver, structural engineering projects balance function and aesthetics by using engineered beams for open floor plans, preserving historic architectural details, and supporting larger windows for natural light. Solutions are tailored to local preferences, such as maximizing indoor-outdoor living, while addressing moisture control and wind resistance. This approach ensures your home remains both visually appealing and structurally sound, meeting both design and safety needs.

Helpful?

Homes in Vancouver are strong candidates for structural engineering projects if they show signs of settling, have visible cracks, or are located on sloped lots or near water. Properties built before seismic codes, or with unreinforced masonry, often need assessment. If you’re planning major renovations or have experienced recurring moisture issues, a professional structural inspection is especially important due to Vancouver’s unique soil and weather conditions.

Helpful?

After finishing a structural engineering project in Vancouver, arrange a final inspection to confirm compliance and ensure all permits are properly closed. Update your records with new structural drawings and certifications, and notify your insurance provider about the completed work. For ongoing protection, schedule annual structural inspections and monitor for moisture or foundation repair needs, as Vancouver’s wet climate can impact new construction over time.

Helpful?

Before reaching out for structural engineering services in Vancouver, gather your property survey, previous permit records, and any soil or geotechnical reports. Document any past foundation repairs, seismic upgrades, or water damage. Note the foundation type and utility locations, and outline your renovation goals. Having this information ready helps your engineer address Vancouver’s unique soil and moisture challenges efficiently and ensures a smoother project process.
